Roberta M. Warner Family – Card of Thanks

This card of thanks was mailed to my mom and dad, Edward and Mary Krocker from Edward A. Warner of Terre Haute, Ind.

The family of Roberta Margaret Warner, who passed away a few weeks ago, wants to relay its enormous appreciation to all of the Goshen area friends and neighbors for their visitation, cards, flowers and covered dishes. Also, tell Russ Hobart I said “Hi”. I worked with him for several summers at Universal Sewer Plant No. 2 at Goshen, making money to put myself through college. Russ’ father, Dale, was our foreman. Thank you all again so much.

Fishing was a favorite pastime back in the day (besides baseball) and almost every Sunday we would be at a lake.  Here I am (Jane Rausch Delcoma) sitting on a giant rock with my Goshen childhood friend, Nancy Hobart Grinstead, at Clendening Lake in April of 1948.
